Anyone doing CAD (Carb Addict Diet)?

[lynetteSC]

Hi guys! Sounds like this is a great support board over here! Ok, been thinking of doing some type of low carb/high protien diet. I have heard tons of info about Atkins, but not much on the CAD. I do not like many veggies and no salad, so I was wondering if I may have more success on the CAD. Anyone know anything about this diet? Any tips for newbies? Thanks!

This is what I'm following. Once of the core items in this eating plan is your "reward meal" and the first part of it is to eat 2 cups of salad. That said, if you can find a way to eat the veggies I have found it is a very liveable plan for every day. My loss has been slower than others, but challenged with being really sick and bloated to the point I pulled my maternity clothes back out so I could wear something to work. The library would probably have their book - there is a section that is "Step One"which gives the list of foods that you can have in any quantity at any time, and outlines the guidelines for the reward meal and how to factor your carbs into it. If you have any other questions I'll be glad to help!

I have been following CALP (an updated version of CAD) since May 2002. I will never eat any other way! Any others out there following CAD or CALP? I'd love to talk about eating strategies while visiting the World!

You can do Atkins also and not do the salad thing. I am proof positive with that.

I DO NOT like or eat salad of any kind. The only veggies that I like that are on the first two steps of Atkins are:green beans,wax beans,broccoli,cauliflower. Thats it. As you can see from my signature and pictures it has been successful for me without the salad portion of the eating plan!!
